Hi everyone,
My name is Tiniqua and I am new to this site. I am interested in learning both Greek and Latin and was wondering if someone could advise me whether to start with Greek or with Latin or both concurrently. I appreciate any input.
Thanks

It depends upon the time you'll dedicate to your studies. Anyway, the most important thing is Constancy. It is useless if you spend a whole week studying seven hours per day of Latin or Greek and then you leave it for a week or two. So, I'd recommend you to draw up a study plan and set your own goals in small stages. It's really frustrating to learn a language and not make any progress.

From my experience, when I've begun to fell that I was actually learning and making progresses in Latin and Greek it's been when I entrusted with new methodologies and methods. I followed some books which Textkit offers and they are in fact good (I am using now Sidgwick's Greek composition book). They teach a lot of grammar, &c., but after finishing some of them I wasn't able to read much Latin or Attic without the help of a lexicon. I use now Athenaze and Oerberg's Lingua Latina series. These books teach Greek and Latin as if it were a modern language and when you go deep in it, you'll be able to write and read these two languages with ease. Again, constancy is important.

This may not be your style, but I suggest using a spaced-repetition flashcard program like Mnemosyne to memorize vocabulary. Personally, I find it the best way to retain vocabulary for a long time, but it works well only if you stick to your guns and go through your cards every day.
